# Objective
Allow zed's language model stack to express OpenAI Responses API custom
tools (freeform text-input tools with an optional lark/regex grammar),
so downstream consumers can offer tools like a freeform `apply_patch` to
GPT models.
## Solution
- `LanguageModelRequestTool` now carries a Function-vs-Custom input
variant; `LanguageModelCustomToolFormat` models text/grammar formats.
- `LanguageModelToolUse.input` becomes a typed
`LanguageModelToolUseInput::{Json, Text}`. Serialization is tagged so
persisted Text inputs round-trip losslessly; legacy plain JSON values
still deserialize as `Json`.
- `open_ai` gains the custom tool wire types (tool definition,
`custom_tool_call`/`custom_tool_call_output` input items with
string-or-content-part outputs, output item, and
`custom_tool_call_input` delta/done stream events). The Responses event
mapper accumulates raw text deltas into `ToolUse` events, and history
replay derives custom-vs-function tool results from the matching
`ToolUse` by id.
- All non-OpenAI providers and the Chat Completions path error
explicitly when a request contains custom tools — no silent drops or
empty-schema coercions.
